ABSTRACT:
A cylinder head gasket for an internal combustion engine which is adapted to compensate for variations in the clamping or hold-down forces which are exerted on the gasket disposed within the joint formed between the cylinder head and the engine block. Because of the spacing of the cylinder head fasteners relative to the ends of the cylinders formed in the block, there are wide areas of the gasket extending between adjacent cylinder ends which are disposed at substantial relative distances from such fasteners. These wide gasket areas are defined at least in part by opposed circumferential segments of the adjacent cylinder ends. Each wide gasket area has a thickness which is substantially greater than the thickness of te remaining portions of the gasket, thereby, resulting in substantially uniform clamping forces being exerted throughout the gasket.
